Got our new car today . But the really NICE thing about it is that we looked up a slightly different model when we decided for it and against the others. So the features were not as expected.It's got, unlike the car we test-drove and which we looked up in the brochure, a rev counter (which for some reason my girlfriend would have missed) and especially ESP (electronic stability programme) and a remote for unlocking the doors. Ah, yes, and there was gas in the tank.

You need a rev counter...How else do you know do you know when to change gear?

Good to hear your news, Sharlene. I hope you keep getting good medical news.

Sadly I can also believe the price of the Lego camper van. We've got a huge supply of Harry Potter Lego which no one has touched for years. Sigh! Sounds like it needs to be boxed up and head for the loft.

Um? You do that? I decide by the sound of the engine and speed to gas pedal ratio.Anyway, the car suggest when to change gears, anyway.

Went shopping in it today. It's a bit smaller than my previous one but I got it all into it. Since it has two doors more, putting stuff on the back seats is a lot easier, so I won't miss the larger trunk of my Fiat much.
